Ocean Magic Wildlife Adventure Aug 29 12:15pm

Our 12:15 Ocean Magic Wildlife Adventure was a blast. Capt. Scott took us south, and soon had us viewing Humpback Whales. This mother and calf have been in our area for a few weeks. Then we were off to look for Killer Whales. It wasn't long till Capt. Scott found our whales. These magnificent Resident Killer Whales were working the waters off the southern tip of San Juan Island. They exhibited feeding behavior, moving randomly over large areas looking for salmon, and the salmon were even jumping out of the water. It is great to see them work the water for their staple diet of salmon. We had tail lobs, spy hops and breaching. Truly a great visit with this marine apex predator. Our crew of Rhonda, Casey and Michaela answered all our passengers questions and passed on a great wealth of marine knowledge. An amazing wildlife adventure with Prince of Whales.
